Not sure about this site but most sites go either 80x80 or 120x120

If I had to guess I'd say 120x120 here.

I thought it resized the image when you upload it to a certain extent....

Minimally 200 Pixels at least on one Side to prevent any Upload Issues.

What about the size as far as memory. Is 4k too large. I've searched for a topic about this but this thread is the closest I've found.

Due to different Image Compression Levels, its not really possible to precisely nail down File Size.

A very large but heavily compressed JPG Image around 40 KBs might work, but due to the Site's Recompression Schemes when uploading your Pic, it would likely end up rendered excessively degraded.

For the usual 'Run of the Mill' compressed JPGs you'll be uploading I wouldn't go much below 50 KBs. For BMPs stay above 120 KBs.

As a Rule of Thumb do not upload any Images which are less than 100 Pixels on any Side. This is one of the common Reasons User Pics are deleted, when the same Image previously uploaded successfully. To be sure no Pic-Size Issues get into the Way, make sure they are at least 200 Pixels on any Side.


You may also have Problems uploading if ...
    1. Your Image is much larger than 3,500 Pixels on any Side.

    2. Your compressed or uncompressed Image exceeds 5.2 MBs.

    3. Your Image exceeds more than 10 Megapixel.

I scanned regular photographs and put them on my profile.They were too small and then three of the five got bigger.Does this happen automatically and if so how come only three of the five got bigger.I want to make all of them big,so as I said,does it happen by itself or how can I do it.Keep in mind that I am very new to the computer scene,so tell me in ways I can understand.Or how do I get POF to enlarge them. Thank you for any help you can give me.

First of all, make sure the Images you submit meet upload Requirements:

Related Links:Unacceptable Profile Pics

Reporting Image As Not Human
Images: Admin's Manual Review
Super close Ups
Recognizable Headshot Criteria
Profile Pics: Incl. of You, excl. of Copyright
Profile Pics: Posting Orginal Artwork
Profile Pics: Unacceptable Profile Images
Profile Pics: As Drawings


Also, make sure what you upload qualifies as Images:

They were too small and then three of the five got bigger.Does this happen automatically and if so how come only three of the five got bigger. I want to make all of them big,so as I said,does it happen by itself or how can I do it.

You have too much "White" around those Images. See Link below:

Juju, as a rule of thumb you want the picture you upload to be a square. I crop all of my photos to 300 x 300 before I upload them.

Use the Firefox Browser, they shouldn't be blurry anymore.

Many people are unsure about preparing their photos. Happily it’s actually an easy process without any real mystery :)

Naturally, if the digital copy of you photo is of poor quality in the first place there's little you can do to improve it (without actual graphics skills).

If you have not one already, get a fully featured image editor. I recommend The GIMP as it is free but has comparable features to professional software like Photoshop. Links for downloading this software can be found at: http://www.gimp.org/

Here is a step-by-step guide for The GIMP (other’s editor have equivalent features and the process will be similar):

To make square selections:
1. Click on the "Rectangle Select Tool" (the first tool on the top left in version 2.4.2)
2. Ensure the "Fixed:" checkbox is checked.
3. Ensure none of the other checkboxes are checked.
4. Ensure Aspect Ratio is selected in the drop down list beside the "Fixed:" checkbox
5. In the input field below the checkbox value should be "1:1"; if not type in 1:1

When happy with the selected area:
Select "Image -> Crop to Selection" from the image's menu options.

To scale the image select "Image -> Scale Image" from the image's menu options. In the Scale Image dialog:
1. Ensure "pixels" is select in the first drop down list.
2. Change the value in the "Width:" field to your desired width. If the value in the "Height" field has not changed to match your "Width" value either click on the icon to the right (looks like a chain) or manually edit the "Height" field to match the "Width".
3. In the "Quality" drop down list ensure "Cubic" is selected.
4. Click ok.

To save the image in an appropriate format:
I recommend JPEG as it's particular suitable for photos and supported by all image rendering browsers I'm aware of.
1. In the "Name" field type a file name followed by ".jpg", e.g. "myprofilepic.jpg"
2. In the Save as JPEG dialog ensure that the "Quality" slider and ensure the slider is turned up to 100 (unless your image is huge there is no need to apply any compression. JPEG uses a lossy compression scheme, which essential means it throws away data. The more you compress your JPEG the lower the quality of your image).
3. Click save.

It is way too small.

It will look terrible when it is stretched, no matter how it looks now.

You'll need to get a new picture that is bigger than 400 pixels width and height and resize it.

If you are going to do a good job of resizing it, use a tool such as irfanview, which is an excellent, free piece of software.

Google "irfanview".
